So to set the scene
i have two DDs (9&5) and I’ve worked full time since they were born. About 9 months ago I changed jobs to a well paying role (circa £55k a year + bonus) and I’m worked hard for it.
the job I do is one of those ones that relies on other depts and always seems to go down to the wire with deadlines and everything is urgent. I just can’t buy into it and I think it creates a real drain in the team I work in.
in the last couple of years I’ve worked my arse off (as has DH) and we paid our mortgage off but we’ll likely move house in the next year or so but I wonder if I’m just exhausted and now that’s done I just want to relax for a while.
i just feel like I’m the past 3/4 months I’ve totally shut down when it comes to the fast paced environment and this constant flapping and urgency is burning me out a bit.
I’m not sure if I’ve explained myself well here. I just feel a bit dead inside and I’m not sure what to do.
i don’t dislike the job and part of me is glad that I don’t buy into the constant urgent emails and people freaking out about something or other.
just wondering if anyone else gets this?
